Product Description

Review

'In this sad, beautiful memoir, [St John] tells his heartbreaking but inspirational story - one that will make you appreciate love and life and stay with you long after you've read the last page' --Closer, 'Hot Picks'

'It's one of the most moving stories you'll read' --Daily Express

'Heart-wrenching' --Daily Mail

Product Description

'Kiss boys two times after I have gone'


'Please teach the boys to say what they mean'


'Mummy loved orange Club biscuits, jam and jelly and lemon curd'



On her deathbed, Kate Greene's only concern was for her two little boys, Reef and Finn, and her loving husband, Singe. She knew she'd be leaving them behind very soon.



Over her last few days, Kate created Mum's List. The couple talked and cried together as she wrote her thoughts and wishes down, trying to help the man she loved create the best life for their boys after she was gone.



It wasn't the first time Singe and Kate had faced the spectre of death. Four years earlier, doctors discovered a large lump in baby Reef 's abdomen. Kate, pregnant with Finn, was so distressed that she gave birth dangerously early. Both boys pulled through, but afterwards Kate received the diagnosis that every woman dreads . . .

5.0 out of 5 stars Must read 1 Mar 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I had read an interview that Singe Greene gave sometime last year and was pleased to hear that he had written their story. I ordered this book on Monday - received Tuesday morning - read it by Tuesday evening. I am not ashamed to admit that I cried all the way through. Even though the story is extremely moving the way that it is told is amazing. I cannot recommend it enough. I have already lent my copy out and have ordered another for my mum.
I have just watched his interview on 'this morning' and cried all over again. Please read this book it was brilliant .

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG 9 Mar 2012
By Julie
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I can honestly say until yesterday I have never read a book cover to cover let alone in one go, Having seen Singe and the beautiful Reef and Finn on this morning I thought I'd give the book ago, I really wasn't disapointed! I cried and smiled and cried and smiled what a beautiful but very sad and emotional story my heart went out to them all along with Singe and Kates Parents to have to watch your child go through all of this is utterley heartbreaking. Please read this book your outlook on life will never be the same!.
